Listening (well almost listening...) to Becs interviewing Quesnel on RR what was the discussion about when Becs asked him "is there a budget available?" Anybody know?
He can drive, also on gravel. Strange that the man from Spain has never been allowed to win, but the new Seb was allowed once he had the chance. And he is also French is'nt he....... :vader:Quote:

I would like Latvala to win since he deserves a win in his home rally, or maybe Solberg so we can all have a bath in finnish tears.....the dillema is big....Latvala or tear bath ???? Hmmmmm...
I think Ketomaa is ready for a proper rally car to mix it with the big boys where he probably belongs....
A bit dissapointed at Juhas times....i would expect him to be better than Kimmi at least who is also useless here losing ONCE more to wilson...pfffft
Also i must say i prefer this 2 day format....
Gardemeister's pace is a little disappointing. Maybe it was a mistake to come back with not much recent experience, I don't think it's doing his aim of showing that he is a good choice for teams for the new era of WRCars much help :(
he had his chance in WRC....now its just fun for him....he knows the good days are over.Quote:

I would prefer that. Its actually quite lame with big pauses between the stages all the time. Better with som more action when you are spectating!Quote:

Might be the case. There were only couple of cars between them.Quote:

Just woke up and opened WRC page, and BAAM Mikko out in my face, I wasn't expecting that.
Ketomaa has problems, he is stopped on the way to Lankamaa (SS6)...
SS6 on the way ;)
Ogi still faster - Luub biding his time?
No, please, he deserves to continue...Quote:

and why exactly are you surprised by that?Quote:

Looks like the thunderstorm cut a lot of trees on stage 8 and forestry guys spent many hours since 5AM to clear the road. Road is now clean but some cuts might be filled with all kind of debris.
Latvala may take the lead after this 24km long stage :rolleyes:
I'm inclined to agree. I really like Toni, and he is a good solid driver on all surfaces but perhaps missing that last little bit of speed and it shows here as there are some very fast drivers in S2000 cars here.Quote:

Really hope to see Ketomaa continue, the battle between him and Hanninen is one of the most interesting things in this rally at the moment.
Henning going for it.
Possibly. Hopefully for Petter, it's better to be second tomorrow. I guess we will have a cat and mouse game towards the last stage, whoo will slow down and who will not.Quote:

Henning is flying too :eek:
Looks like all the limiters were turned off in Latvalas car. referring to the interview:
Q. Jari-Matti can still win though?
MW: I don't see any reason why not, yes. He's made a couple of little mistakes that he knows about. We will maybe make a couple of small spec changes when he gets to service.
Q. Are they to speed the car up?
MW: They're to give him a bit better feeling in certain conditions.
Petter still leads - by 0.1 sec!
what fuel did they give Henning's car ?? lol.. Did he leave without Ilka ?
